Being an island nation, the most important element of sustainability is the water environment. It is vital to quicken the pace of teachers on the job training in order for them to educate students the importance of water environment and the ways that they can help to protect it. Consequently, the Ministry of Education, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Water Resources Agency co-sponsored a 3-year eLearning project to transfer the core knowledge on water environment to the school teachers in this water education capacity building program. In total, this program produces five eLearning content modules and 80-hour asynchronous courses. The course topics not only covers science, ecology, engineering knowledge on water environment but also include social, political, and economical issues encompassing water resources development and water environment protection. Based on these courses, seven eLearning programs were delivered and attracted more than 12,288 participants. As far as we know, this is the most extensive eLearning program dedicated for teachers on water environment education in Taiwan. This paper presents an overview of project and discusses important aspects and effectiveness of the very large-scale eLearning program based on the analysis of questionnaires to all the participants. The results serve as the most valuable firsthand knowledge on eLearning program participants on which the planning of all future large-scale eLearning programs should taken into account.
